The Supreme Court is siding with Ohio's top elections official in a dispute with the state Republican Party over voter registrations.

The justices on Friday overruled a federal appeals court that had ordered Ohio's top elections official to do more to help counties verify voter eligibility.

Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner, a Democrat, faced a deadline of Friday to set up a system to provide local officials with names of newly registered voters whose driver's license numbers or Social Security numbers on voter registration forms don't match records in other government databases.

We will have video shortly of Pete Williams explaining the decision on MSNBC.

As I would be now. Forcing people out of business because they don't want to serve a certain type of person is more evil than having racial preferences in my mind.

Yes, but as you've already acknowledged, your mind is fearful, hate-ridden, and apparently closed to the possibility of change. Even so, you're still free to don a bed sheet, join a segregated country club and discriminate to your little heart's content. What you don't get to do, however, is operate a business in the public sphere like it's your own little KKK fiefdom. And no, allowing businesses to discriminate on the basis of personal prejudices is not part of a "pluralistic, tolerant society." It's part of a racist, apartheid world that America has since left behind. If you want to conduct business in _this_ country, then I suggest you step into the 21st century.
